        <pre>public&nbsp;<a href="../../java/lang/String.html" title="class in java.lang">String</a>&nbsp;toLowerCase()</pre>
        <div class="block">Converts all of the characters in this <code>String</code> to lower
            case using the rules of the default locale. This is equivalent to calling
            <code>toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault())</code>.
            <p>
                <b>Note:</b> This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected
                results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale
                independently.
                Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML
                tags.
                For instance, <code>"TITLE".toLowerCase()</code> in a Turkish locale
                returns <code>"t\u0131tle"</code>, where '\u0131' is the
                LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I character.
                To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use
                <code>toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH)</code>.
